Hi,
Thanks for your response on the kernel switching.I was away and could not reply immediately.
Right now, I am facing a differentissue. I have to set up DNS server using BIND on Centos 4.3. When Itype the hostname on Centos, it shows: sipserver.vodcalocal.com But the cli prompt has root@sipserver~ meaning only the sipserver part of the hostname is displayed. whyis this so? What is the actual hostname then? I see in the /etc/sysconfig/network that thehostname is sipserver.vodcalocal.com the /etc/hosts file has the followingcontent:
# Do not remove the following line, orvarious programs # that require network functionalitywill fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost sipserver 192.168.50.51 sipserver.vodcalocal.com
The /etc/sysconfig/network has thefollowing config:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=sipserver.vodcalocal.com
I have seen in many forums that the/etc/sysconfig/network file has many other entries like domain name,gateway type, gateway ip etc, which are not present in myconfiguration.
when i type $ domainname, i get-- (none)
$ domainname -d vodcalocal.com
$ domainname -f sipserver.vodcalocal.com
Why does not the command domainnamelist the domain name? also domainname -f and domainname -d displaydifferent results. can the machine have the domainname and hostnamesame if I am going to run dns server on it?
I run a SIP server on this PC whichneeds the domainname set but whenever I type echo $DOMAIN_NAME, itshows blank and I have to export the path variable DOMAIN NAME andset it. On another screen, I again dont see the domain name set. Howto set the domain name across all terminals and sessions andrestarts?an
Thanks Padmaja

Put: export PS1=[\u@\H\ \W]\$ In any of your rc files

What shows in your shell prompt does not necessarily indicate a networking problem. Is there a networking problem? Personally, I like having the short hostname in my prompt.
domainname command is for NIS/YP, you want dnsdomainname.
I don't see any problems with your configuration files. Whether to use or not use the FDQN in those files is not well defined. If hostname -s and hostname -f return the short and FDQN names respectively, then you should be good to go.

The actual hostname is sipserver, the domain name is vodcalocal.com, so the FQDN is sipserver.vodalocal.com.
The shell is configured by default to show only the hostname part. It is configurable (see Thomas' post).

No, the actual hostname is whatever is returned by the 'hostname' command. It may or may not be the fqdn, and best practices are subject to debate.
Hello All,
I have a CentOS 4.4 running on a server with a 136GB hard drive, i have three different logical volumens and i would like to resize one of them ( / ) with some idle space remaining in the hard drive. Can i do it with the server running or should i use the boot cd in order to do that?
I will appreciate any help and sorry if it´s a dumb question.
Regards,
--Ivan.

Hi, Ivan.
You can extend it while running, but can't decrease the size while running.
To extend.
lvextend -L+1G /dev/yourvg/volume resize2fs /dev/yourvg/volume

take 'sipserver' /off/ the localhost line and add it to the regular IP line. I'm not sure /why/ anacdonda or whatever insists on doing this, but using your hostname as localhost is generally quite wrong and can result in all sorts of odd little behaviors.
